jackflash Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 THIS is almost a joke. We've been trying to upgrade our dozens of sites to 4.3x and almost everyone fails - error after error - different servers - 4.3.4 itself couldn't upgrade (bug) and you can't use 4.3.3 or anything lower to do it, which did upgrade OK. Amazingly enough, we can easily upgrade our 3.4.9 sites to VBulletin? How is this even possible that we can convert an IPB site to VB error free and we can't even upgrade a site from IPB to IPB? ? ? This is like me having to take a Camaro, Corvette or Challenger to a Ford dealer for engineering support. This has been one momentous pain. . .

Joel R Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Are you ... Shouting your pain out to the world or soliciting actual assistance? If the latter, in no particular order: 1. Make sure you disable all third party items before upgrading. Any apps, plugins, themes. 2. Take a database dump and send to IPS for them to review 3. Have IPS perform the upgrade for you. 4. Run the IPS4 are you ready script to ensure you have the correct server configuration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did all of the pre-flight checks and tried to upgrade another forum and guess what happened? Everything passed until the upgrade failed.....again. .ibp_core_tasks' doesn't exist File:system/Db/Db.php Line: 353 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opentype Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Same question as Joel. What’s the purpose of this? If you want help with the upgrades, open a support ticket. They even do the upgrade for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyF Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Ticket may be best as indicated. If you want to 'DIY' it a bit more, what type of errors are you getting ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsman Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 If you followed this guide step by step you should not received any issues or errors. From what I have read from all this are database issues where I agree with the consensus you need to make a copy of your database and submit it in a ticket. Why VB converted makes no sense but dollars to a donuts says it also has issues that are not being mentioned here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would help if you mentioned what errors were you getting while trying to upgrade your forums. Additionally, as mentioned above, you can open a ticket at your Client Aea. Ipb staff is very helpful.
